Death on the Nile Movie Cast

I May or May Not Be Salivating Over How Good the Cast of Death on the Nile Is

Oct 2 2019 by Quinn Keaney

Kenneth Branagh's determination to bring the tales of Belgian detective Hercule Poirot to the big screen will continue next year when Death on the Nile, the follow-up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express, arrives in theatres. Regardless of whether or not you're a fan of Agatha Christie mysteries, you have to admit the cast for the first film was pretty spectacular, right? Fortunately the sequel is just as star-studded, with names like Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, and Letitia Wright joining Branagh.

Initially set for release back in October, production was delayed and a second release was confirmed for 18th Dec. Due to the current pandemic, the release has now been delayed indefinitely. As we anticipate its epic release, check out the details of the full cast ahead!
